#246-Thoughts on being Better

A better mousetrap is still only a mousetrap.

The irony of life is that people feel that what others have is better than theirs.

I am a work in progress. With God's help I am getting better and better every day!


#245-Thoughts on Treating

Everybody feels that they are being ill-treated by somebody.

This is no secret - if you treat me better than I expected, I'll be forever grateful.

Don't expect someone to treat you like a "somebody" if you continually treat him like a "nobody."


#244-Thoughts on the Weather

God works in any kind of weather.

People are sometimes like the weather: warm and friendly or cold and bitter.

#243-Thoughts on Humans

Life and death are both beyond the realm of human understanding.

Don't expect miracles from your fellow workers; they're only humans.

What makes us human, is the power each and every one of us has to choose our response to a specific situation.


#242-Thoughts on Change

Life is a process of change that takes us from one stage to the next.

Everyone will not be happy with the budget and the government will not change it just because some people are unhappy with it.

Change the rule. No! Break all the rules and realize that the whole idea is to work for the sake of living rather than live for the sake of working.

#241-Thoughts on being Busy

My work day disappears as soon as I get busy.

We tend to enjoy life more when we are not busy making a living.


#240-Thoughts on being Good

It is what it is and it's all good!

It is not his fault that he is enjoying all the good breaks.

It is good to be strong but unquestionably better to be wise.

#239-Thoughts on the World

Life is about helping others and blessing the world by the way you live.

You and me are the two most important people in the world. Without you there is no me and without me there is no you.

Make every effort to appreciate what you have right now; many around the world have much less than you do and they would gladly exchange places with you.


Monday, November 21, 2011

#238-Thoughts on Approval

Acknowledgement does not constitute approval.

You could do whatever you want to do as long as it meets with my approval.


#237-Thoughts on Places

The road is no place to play; it spares no one.

Music takes you to all the places in your heart and soul.

Place all your trust in the Lord; no matter what is happening.


#236-Thoughts on Darkness

Plug in your lamp before the darkness.

The illumination from a miniature light source is brighter in a dark room.


#235-Thoughts on Abuse

You do not have the right to abuse your children.

You cannot abuse your children just because they are yours.


Sunday, November 20, 2011

#234-Thoughts on Design

Every creature, even those that cannot be seen with the naked eye, is intricately designed and specially endowed.

God bestowed the gift of life to all animals and plants with a design that enables them to reproduce and pass on that precious gift.


#233-Thoughts on the World

Those who don't like this life or this world are free to choose another.

Working for the Lord, the pay may be small but the benefits are out of this world.

Interestingly, with the exception of child bearing and menstruation a "woman's world" is no longer occupied by women alone.


#232-Thoughts on Doing

I am not procrastinating; I am busy doing other things.

It is virtually impossible for anyone to be enthusiastic about doing nothing.

When you sit in the driver's seat, other drivers assume that you know what you are doing.

Everyone is "doing it" is nothing but a colossal faux-pas. Except for breathing, everyone is NOT doing it!


#231-Thoughts on Improving

Are you doing something, other than complaining, to improve your current situation?

Only those who are blessed with the gift of life could strive to improve their quality of life.


#230-Thoughts on being Wrong

There is no "right" way to do the wrong thing.

There is nothing inherently wrong with praying for a miracle.

Strive to do the right thing especially when those around you are doing the wrong thing.


Thursday, November 17, 2011

#229-Thoughts on being Right

Believing in something does not make it right or wrong.

Always do what is right even when things appear to be going wrong.

Are you always right? No? Then why do you expect me to be always wrong?


#228-Thoughts on Computers

Computers are "smart" but they can't think!

Computers don't get tired, they just crash.

In computing, knowing "where" to click is also important.

Astute controllership is essential when you have minors using your computer.

What will cause the downfall of computers? When they are smart enough to hold meetings!


#227-Thoughts on Important

Most important in life is not what you get from it, but what you give to it.

My most important responsibility in life is to take good care of the people and things that God entrust to me.

Do not forget how to live with decency and love. Do not loose sight of the things that truly count. Do not forget that life's little pleasures, like the magic of a child's laughter or the glory of a sunrise, are life's most important ones.


#226-Thoughts on Value

A generous serving may look like good value for your money but it could prevent you from enjoying your meal.

The pages of history are full and overflowing with instances where God's people were forced to sell the most valuable of His gifts to humankind. Many have sold themselves in prostitution. Some have sold their brethren in slavery.


#225-Thoughts on Age

Old age creeps up on you when you are busy making a living.

Are we really getting busier or are we just getting slower with age?

Age is only important if you have a short shelf life like milk or meat. Even cheese gets better with age.


Friday, November 4, 2011

#224-Thoughts on Advice

I don't always follow my own advice.

My advice to you is not necessarily good for me.

Giving advice is akin to planting seeds; some will die, others will bear fruit.


Thursday, November 3, 2011

#223-Thoughts on Planning

Planning is important – implementation is essential.

Planning helps to focus on what is important; too much planning tends to detract from it.

The hideous crimes of humanity cannot thwart God's plans. Pharaoh's decree did not affect Moses even though he was only a baby.


#222-Thoughts on being Safe

God knows the way; just follow His lead and He will get you there safely.

Tardiness is deplorable but arriving safe is more important than arriving early.

Drive as if every approaching vehicle is a police cruiser, you will be a safe driver.


#221-Thoughts on Valuable

Never misuse a moment, not even one; for it is way too valuable.

In the western world, some landfill sites have more valuables than homes in undeveloped countries.

The sooner we realize that life itself is our most valuable possession, the more we'll enjoy of it.


Tuesday, November 1, 2011

#220-Thoughts on Joy

Don't let anyone steal your joy; it is your most valuable possession.

Joy and sorrow are rivals who hang out together vying for the opportunity to go home with you.

Births and deaths are two of the most common occurrences in life yet they always yield overwhelming joy or sorrow.


#219-Thoughts on Homes

A home is reduced to a house when love departs.

Any house could be made into a home with the right amount of love.

In some homes, dogs and cats get more love and attention than mom and dad.


#218-Thoughts on Marriage

Marriages without trust could end in divorce.

Men and women change after they get married, they become husbands and wives.

Every married couple is always only one phrase away from an argument.


#217-Thoughts on Change

No one willingly embraces change that is initiated by others.

Promise me that you will never change but don't expect me to remain as I am today.

Change is constant except for the human anatomy; it usually has two eyes, two ears, two hands and two feet.


Friday, October 28, 2011

#216-Thoughts on Solitude

Solitude promotes communion with God.

Solitude allows your creative juices to flow.


#215-Thoughts on Relationships

Relationships with love could result in marriage.

When a spouse makes a disappointing decision they could move from being the most important to being the least important person in the relationship.

We all need more love in our lives. This world would be a far better place with more love. Loving relationships form the foundation of a life greatly lived.


#214-Thoughts on Soft

People who speak softly could hear really well.

Most men are "rough on the edges" when dealing with "soft" skills.

What do they put in a tin of salmon to make the thorny bones soft and edible? What is it doing to my bones?


Wednesday, October 26, 2011

#213-Thoughts on Fear

Man's most formidable enemy is fear.

If you let fear into your heart it will steal your joy.


#212-Thoughts on Differences

The real difference between opportunity and temptation is that opportunity may only knock once.

We need to slow down so that others could recognize our differences to appreciate our uniqueness.

There is a grand purpose to EVERY life. We are all here to live heroic lives and make a difference in the world, in our own unique way. To achieve this, we have to do what we know to do the best way we know to do it.


#211-Thoughts on Grandparents

You must have grandchildren to know the real joy of being a grandparent.

When you have grown children you are always only nine months away from being a grandparent.


#210-Thoughts on Growing

People who are not growing are dying.

Some of us are infantile when it comes to spiritual growth.

To grow wealthy, stop wishing that you made more money and ask yourself how you can help more people to get what they want.


Tuesday, October 25, 2011

#209-Thoughts on Games

People who play games could get hurt.

We are all participants and spectators in the game of life.

The aim of the game is not to sacrifice yourself for work and have nothing left for the people you truly love.


#208-Thoughts on Walking

Walk with God and the enemy will hide when he sees you coming.

Most people will not allow you to walk out and come back into their lives.

Some people walk into a room and declare, "I am here!" People with charisma walk in and warmly say, "Ahh, there you are."


#207-Thoughts on Finding

Look for the good in people, you'll find it.

One must venture away from the old to find the new.

You do not have to wait until you find the right person to get married; you have to wait until you are ready to be the right person.


#206-Thoughts on the Earth

This always was and still is God's green earth.

Life on earth is your only opportunity to prepare for eternal life - use it wisely.


#205-Thoughts on Leadership

Good leaders support all subordinates, even those who are not top performers.

Leadership is, in many ways, about taking the high road and making the tough choice – no matter how uncomfortable it makes you feel. The tougher you are with yourself, the easier life will be on you.


Friday, October 21, 2011

#204-Thoughts on being Good

Good people don't believe in man-made prophecies.

Every man who says he has a good neighbor is himself a good neighbor.

Every good thing is not always useful and every useful thing is not always good!


#203-Thoughts on Problems

It is easier to solve a problem when you know the cause.

He who worries about other people's problems will always be stressed.

It is easy to hear and understand people who have hearing problems; they speak loud so that they could hear themselves.


#202-Thoughts on Protect

Protect the bees – save the human race.

Sometimes, we have to be ready to give up all that we love to protect it.


#201-Thoughts on Time

Time management is life management; guard you time with your life!

The invisible line that once separated men's work from women's work was battered by the sands of time.


#200-Thoughts on Thinking

You may think yours is better than mine but I know that mine is darn good.

We have been conditioned to think that NO means NO but it really means Next Opportunity!

Human beings have the ability to have two conversations at the same time; one with themselves and one with another person e.g. "What makes him think he is better than everyone else?"


Wednesday, October 19, 2011

#199-Thoughts on being Young

It is OK for women to like older men because most men like younger women.

Many people believe they will die young – that is why they buy life insurance.

Life is analogous to a large conveyor belt with people continually getting on (birth) and falling off (death). Falling off the sides of the belt is the same as dying young.


#198-Thoughts on Recommendations

That which I recommend for you may not apply to me.

What I would recommend and what I would do are not always the same.


#197-Thoughts on Numbers

Words can be used by any number of people at the same time without any conflicts.

The number of hits from an Internet search immediately reveals the importance of a topic.


#196-Thoughts on being Nice

Those who ask nicely usually get what they want.

People always look nicer when you see them for the first time.

We are taught to say nice things about others but we should strive to have them say nice things about us because of the way we treat them.


#195-Thoughts on Beauty

Beauty sleep! I don't really need it but I still like to get some.

To appreciate the beauty around you, you sometimes have to step back a little.


#194-Thoughts on Fighting

Those who fight ruthlessly never savour a worthy victory.

Don't waste your time fighting the unjust for the Lord says, "Vengeance is mine".


#193-Thoughts on Respect

Medication may cure stomach ulcers but love and respect prevents it.

People who love and respect their children protect them from incarceration.

Generous helpings of love and respect will keep your parents alive to meet your children.

It is easy to know when someone loves you. They shower you with care, gentleness and the highest respect.


#192-Thoughts on Parents

Most parents and many spouses will be there for you - no matter what!

One of these days, you will realize that I was right; parents are endowed with that ability too.

I've heard of children being ashamed of their parents. I don't know of any parent who is ashamed of their children.


#191-Thoughts on Children

Do with your children all the things you regret not doing with your parents.

Parents with tooth-fairy-aged children should always have small bills in the house.

If children will do whatever little they can, parents will have the time to do what they need to do.


Thursday, October 13, 2011

#190-Thoughts on Important

What we believe is always more important than reality.

The source of the message is as important as the message itself.

How important is the letter R? Very important! It changes a fiend into a friend.


#189-Thoughts on Change

To change, I must know myself.

Older people have low tolerance for change. Men are the least tolerant.

Why is it so difficult for people to embrace change even when it is initiated for their benefit?


#188-Thoughts on My Life

My life was very interesting until I met my wife; then it got better.

My life may not be as difficult as yours but it is not necessarily as good as you think it is.


Wednesday, October 12, 2011

#187-Thoughts on Worry

Worrying never saved the day.

If it is not a crisis – don’t worry about it!


#186-Thoughts on Enjoy

If it is all good – enjoy it!

Enjoy who you are right now. In a few years you'll wish to look and feel as good as you do today!

It is counterproductive to spend so much time worrying about what you don’t have that you fail to enjoy what you do have.


#185-Thoughts on Worth

A beautiful mind is worth much more than a beautiful face.

One point up is always better than one point down in your net worth.

Is it worth it to win an argument if you have to lose a relationship?


Friday, October 7, 2011

#184-Thoughts on getting Better

It is good and getting better.

There is always a better way; the assiduous will find it.

In our eagerness to make things better we sometimes make things worse.


#183-Thoughts on Dreams

A parent's dream is the happiness of their children – but not at all costs.

God is in control; just follow His lead and He will help you to realize your wildest dreams.


#182-Thoughts on Control

Never forget that God is in control.

What we believe controls the outcome.

Some things are not in my sphere of control; my "good looks" is one of them.


#181-Thoughts on Choice

Get even or get ahead – your choice.

We always have choices: in adverse conditions we could venture out or hunker down.

Our choice of syllables determines the way we pronounce words e.g. do we say DUNedin Street or DUNEdin Street.


#180-Thoughts on Pain

A man who does not tell his loved ones about his pains is an unhappy man.

Words have been used to inflict more pain on people than all the wars combined.

The emotion known as love has caused more pain and hurt than all the other emotions combined.


#179-Thoughts on Words

Words can be used by an unlimited number of people at the same time.

Today's language does not have the right words to reveal the mystery of life or death.

That is what I love about words; you could use many of them to say the same thing e.g. new, recent, and modern.


Friday, September 30, 2011

#178-Thoughts on the Present

When God is present, everything changes!

Learn from the past, live in the present and avoid repeating the same mistakes in the future.


#177-Thoughts on Represent

A clean desk represents efficiency - not a shortage of work.

Who chose Cupid, a chubby toddler with a weapon, to represent romance?


#176-Thoughts on Learning

We could learn a whole lot about people from their quotations.

Learn to say what you think, keep it clean and focus on tangibles.

Learn to see the beauty around you instead of the beauty in other parts of the world.


#175-Thoughts on Weakness

Don't mistake my meek disposition or display of decency as a sign of weakness.

People's greatest strengths and weaknesses manifest themselves as good or bad habits.


Friday, September 23, 2011

#174-Thoughts on Afford

I can't afford to misplace things and quite frankly, neither can you.

As employees move up the chain of command they get longer lunch breaks. Is this because they could now afford to buy more food?

When you have to make a decision, treat it as if you already made a wrong decision and this is a second chance. You can't afford to make another wrong decision.


#173-Thoughts on Reading

The more children read, the more success they will enjoy.

The more I read, the more I believe that I have it in me to write.

The answer to your every question is already written somewhere. You'll find it if you read enough books.


#172-Thoughts on being Normal

Normal human beings are afraid of germs.

The more I read the more I am convinced that I am a normal human being.



Monday, September 19, 2011

#171-Thoughts on being Perfect

This is a perfect day - make the most of it!

I don't have to be a perfect man. I just have to aim to be a better one!

Never strive for perfection. God made one perfect man and He was crucified on a cross.


#170-Thoughts on Instructions

I like computers; they follow instructions without asking annoying questions.

Technology does not question your rationale – it just follows your instructions – for better or for worse.


#169-Thoughts on Records

Keeping records tend to reveal if you are doing it (anything) as often as you think.

Keep adequate records and use them to effortlessly generate consistent output - like a pro.


#168-Thoughts on Effort

A small effort is better than no effort.

Getting better may require some time and effort and may generate some pain or stress.

You may have to expend some effort to put things back after you use them but that will eliminate oodles of effort the next time you need those things.


#167-Thoughts on Uniform

People in uniform are almost always at risk or in danger.

Most of us trade our time, skills and energies for remuneration; folks in uniform also trade their safety.


#166-Thoughts on Leaving

Leaving things for the last minute increases the risk and your stress level.

It is very unlikely that both of us will leave this world at the same time; one of us will remain to mourn for the other.

Many children will not litter but they have no qualms whatsoever about leaving garbage in their pockets.


Thursday, September 8, 2011

#165-Thoughts on Value

The value of things increase when the creator leaves this world.

Words can be used over and over again without affecting their intrinsic value.


#164-Thoughts on News

Some of the words used to announce good news are also used to announce bad news.

A day when the top news story is about local politics is day when there are no new world tragedies.


#163-Thoughts on Meaning

We love words so much that we have more than one to convey the same meaning.

People who only want to have a good time seldom create meaningful change. The choice is yours!

We change some words from singular to plural by adding "s" to the end e.g. dog/dogs. With other words, adding "s" to the end would change the meaning of the word e.g. politic/politics.


#162-Thoughts on being Happy

A parent’s duty is to make their children happy – but not at all costs.

There is something about dancing that makes people happy – I hope to encounter it one day.

Most men will are willing to do whatever it takes to make a woman happy – until they get into bed.


#161-Thoughts on Golf

I am more interested in playing golf than improving my game.

Playing a round of golf is far more important than improving my game.


#160-Thoughts on Treasures

A willing lover is a person's greatest treasure.

Life is the greatest of all treasures - it cannot be bought or sold.

Life, the greatest of all treasures is bounded by joy at birth and sorrow at death.

The things we take for granted are the real treasures: the ability to breathe, walk, talk, see, smell, taste and hear.


#159-Thoughts on Continuum

Good and right are not always on the same end of the continuum.

Good and right are sometimes at opposite ends of the continuum.


#158-Thoughts on Action

If your actions offend God, you'll be the first to know.

Early in a marriage, a few choice words could prompt positive action; later, those same words could prompt negative action.


Wednesday, August 24, 2011

#157-Thoughts on being Great

Every great person was once a wannabe.

Great people know how to make other people feel great.

Great people praise my efforts; others criticize my shortcomings.


#156-Thoughts on being Honest

It is easy to accept someone who is a little "rough on the edges" if they are honest.

Honest men who strive for justice in a corrupt society may be crushed by dishonest men.


#155-Thoughts on being Little

It is the little things that count – when the doctor gives you medication you take it little by little, every day.

The little things do count – you use a little match to start a big fire, you can’t sit on a needle and you can’t walk with sand in you shoes.


#154-Thoughts on being Small

Small things have value too – think of pins, keys, and matches.

Don’t underestimate size; small keys open huge doors and little matches start great fires.

Ironically, many small words speak volumes when used alone: No. Go. Yes. Stop. Attack. Retreat.


Monday, August 22, 2011

#153-Thoughts on being Successful

The more you read the more you will be successful.

A truly successful person is drawn to the future not driven by the past.

A successful parent is one who makes his/her children happy – but not at the expense of their values.


#152-Thoughts on being Rich

Even the rich and famous die.

All people are created equal; some may be rich or poor, tall or short, thin or fat but the defining criterion are birth and death. All people, even you and me, will experience both in this lifetime.


#151-Thoughts on Contribution

The impact of a small contribution is more profound when there is a great need.

Ninety-nine cents will never be equal to a dollar. Without that last penny it will always be incomplete. Never underestimate your contribution.


#150-Thoughts on Coins

Bravery and stupidity are not two sides of the same coin.

Every coin has two sides, even when it is nailed to a wall.

Every coin has two sides and they are usually different from each other.



#149-Thoughts on Drinking

Anyone could drink more than they should and many people do.

Taxes are used to employ police officers to protect us from ourselves – drinking and driving, speeding, public intoxication.



Monday, August 8, 2011

#148-Thoughts on Spouses

You should be concerned if your spouse has questionable intentions towards your children.

If a superior asks personal questions about a subordinate's spouse, their motives should be questioned.

Many men and women buckle under the stress of having a spouse yet some brave souls opt to have more than one.


#147-Thoughts on Husbands

Should a husband affront his children to appease his wife?

A good husband knows something about everything. A better husband knows everything about everything. The best husband keeps his knowledge to himself or he becomes Mr. Noah - short for Mr. Know-it-all.


#146-Thoughts on Relationships

Many people fall for phony promises and ruin good relationships.

Day and night have a platonic relationship; they meet twice every day.

The pages of history are littered with failed relationships yet some brave souls opt to have concurrent relationships.

Some people leave loving caring relationships to search for independence. When they achieve it they realize the folly of their quest.


#145-Thoughts on Trouble

You don't have to go looking for trouble. It will find you wherever you are.

We are rarely troubled by the words we never said but we are often troubled by the words we have said.


#144-Thoughts on Teaching

Visitors from dominant cultures teaching locals to speak English result in varied pronunciation of words.

Dominant cultures influence variation in the pronunciation of words in lesser developed cultures when visitors teach new words to locals.

Children, especially daughters, need the basics (food, clothes and shelter) PLUS a good education and parents to teach them high moral values by example. This, not a manicure, will give them all the self-esteem they need to lead successful lives.


#143-Thoughts on being Happy

Everyone will be happy if we all do what is expected of us.

We'll both be happy if you do what is required of you and allow me to do what is required of me.

At the very least, we would all be a little happier, if we all did what we can to make each other happy.


#142-Thoughts on Excuse

A poor excuse has no value.

If you must make an excuse, at the very least, make it believable!

A man who does not stand up to his responsibilities is a sad excuse for a man.


#141-Thoughts on Haste

Make haste to create your legacy for there is little time left – even if you live to be one hundred years old.

Whenever a loved one asks for your love, your time or your help, make haste to give it to them. If you delay, they will find it elsewhere. There is no shortage of ruthless people waiting to capitalize on your failure to act.


#140-Thoughts on Solutions

When the solution appears to be very complex – think again – you may find a better solution.

It is always better to state the facts clearly and invite your opponent to negotiate a "win-win" solution.


#139-Thoughts on Excitement

It is virtually impossible for anyone to be excited about nothing.

Everything in life is time limited. Euphoria will sometimes last a few seconds and excitement a few minutes.


#138-Thoughts on Emails

People who write short emails are effective communicators.

What do we learn from a curt email reply? We should never send curt emails.


#137-Thoughts on Quotes

All quotes about a topic are not complimentary.

Great people are often quoted for using few words to make notable statements.

Judging by the quotes authored by "Unknown" and "Anonymous," if these were individuals they’d be highly educated.


#136-Thoughts on being Different

We could both be better than each other at different things.

I may be living with an impostor – same name as the person I married but with a very different mindset.

Even the finest cars need to be tuned up for it to perform as it should - it is no different with marriages.


#135-Thoughts on being your Best

Focus on doing your best and let others set their own quality standards.

Being the best is far more rewarding than being the biggest!

Don’t rush God; He knows what is best for you!


#134-Thoughts on Yourself

If you need something done quickly, do it yourself.

You must like yourself if you want others to like you.


#133-Thoughts on Rules

Some people like to make their own rules – they go against the norm.

Those who learn to conform to the rules could enjoy the journey and reach their intended destination.


#132-Thoughts on Pain

The "system" rewards carelessness with pain and suffering.

A great morning for baby boomers is one without aches and pains.

Don't propagate rumors, they are hardly ever truthful and almost always inflict pain.


#131-Thoughts on Fighting

Never fight with someone if you know that you are wrong.

Learn to make people fight for you instead of against you.

Stop fighting when you win the battle or you may end up losing the war.

When you fight with your spouse someone could get hurt; it could even be you.


#130-Thoughts on Sex

Decent people don't talk about sex in public.

Never fight with your spouse; it could affect your sex life.

Sex is a highly therapeutic activity for men - it eliminates insomnia.

Sex is a time-limited activity that yields unlimited pleasure and satisfaction.


#129-Thoughts on Marriage

Marriages begin to fail when respect leaves the relationship.

Husbands and wives who treat each other like kings and queens will enjoy a happy marriage.

When unfaithfulness enters a marriage, good husbands become "nasty dogs" and good wives become "stinking whores" before the dust settles.


#128-Thoughts on Destroying

You don't want to be like gunpowder. To work well it destroys itself.

Parents, who sit passively when they should take control, eventually destroy their family.


#127-Thoughts on Create

It is relatively easy to fix, modify or update something you created.

Successful parents devote their lives to helping their children to become the men and women God created them to be.

It is truly remarkable to see that God was able to create each of us different from each other and yet similar to each other in infinite ways.


#126-Thoughts on Task

Computers will let you know if they can’t complete a task.

Knowing what to do and how to do it is sometimes more important than doing the task itself.

Doing nothing all day is the hardest of all tasks; it could weaken the strongest of all God's people.


#125-Thoughts on Destiny

Your destiny is something no one could take from you.

Since the beginning of time, no one has been able to take that which was destined for another. Fear not; it will not happen in your lifetime.


#124-Thoughts on Moment

Live in the moment - forget what you lost and enjoy what you have.

The present is but a fleeting moment but it is the only place where things actually happen.

One of these days, you will realize that I was only seeking your best interest. God willing, I will be around to share that moment with you.


#123-Thoughts on the Future

Don’t question God; He created the future!

On some future date you and I will have to leave everyone and everything behind and go to be with the Lord.

The world survived to this day without other great men, there is no question that it will do just fine without you in the future.


#122-Thoughts on Vision

Vision helps us to develop a mental image of a desired future before making it a reality.
